Fauré and Norman

Ludvig Norman was one of the great musical personalities of his time. With his three symphonies and an equal number of overtures, he is the greatest Swedish symphonist of the 19th century after Franz Berwald. He also wrote excellent chamber music, including a series of string quartets, such as this vital and expressive A minor quartet.Fauré's music ranges from light salon music to a musical romanticism that points forward to the music of the 20th century. He is best known for his meditative Requiem, but he also composed a wealth of chamber music: solo sonatas, songs, and a series of brilliant piano works. The first piano quintet encompasses both romantic melody and sparkling French sounds.Louise Héritte-Viardot (1841–1918) was, like Fauré, a Parisian. She was a singer, pianist, and composer who wrote both orchestral works and chamber music. This lively piano quartet was a great success and is often called "the Spanish" because of the Spanish titles of the movements – such as the first movement's Paseo, a Spanish dance.

Florian Verweij explores Paris: Roger-Ducasse, Boulanger, Fauré and Franck

Florian Verweij (1997) explores four composers who charted their musical paths in Paris around 1900. As a pianist with a passion for composers who linger in the shadows of music history, he brings to light the music of Debussy’s colleague Jean Roger-Ducasse. Florian: ‘Roger-Ducasse was a true composer for the piano and wrote intense and intoxicating music with multicoloured harmonies.’ He also performs a work by Lili Boulanger, who died tragically at 24. ‘Her Thème et variations sweeps you into an endless fever dream.’ The evening is rounded out with music by their mentor Gabriel Fauré and the nestor of the French music scene, César Franck.With his successful debut in the Recital Hall in 2023, Florian Verweij demonstrated his poetic piano playing and sensitive storytelling. ‘He played with a sense of heroism and nobility... technically, the Dutch pianist’s performance was exceptionally strong,’ wrote music magazine De Nieuwe Muze. Florian Verweij studied with Jan Wijn and Naum Grubert and completed both his bachelor's and master's degrees with the highest distinction at the Conservatory of Amsterdam. His debut album will be released with the Amsterdam label Gutman Records in November 2024.

The Concertgebouw is right at the heart of Dutch music. That is why we love to welcome the best amateur orchestras and choirs of the Netherlands. To an amateur musician a performance at the Concertgebouw is always special, often marking the end of an extensive period of rehearsals. Please note: although these concerts are of a high standard, they are not performed by professional ensembles.
